The 2008 Kite XPO kicked things off big time yesterday. With over 150 riders in the annual La Ventana Classic Island Crossing the water and beach was chaotic to say the least!
Ocean Rodeo was well represented both in the race and on the beach with 2 competitors on OR gear coming in the top 10. Sean Farley won the kiteboarder's Men's division and our Island's own Marie Leclerc won the Women's division.
Demos continue for the next 3 days. With all the brands and riders down here we expect it to be insane. We have rounded up roughly 15 riders to do a big 4 mile down winder to the demo event this morning...a perfect way to get some personal time on the water before the day's events as well as to have some help getting the gear all set up and to show up in style with all of our kites coming into the event at once!
Here are some more photos from the day....
